Byrnes

Evans

Nicholson

Strauss

Evans is contracted until the end of next year I'm pretty sure mate. But I agree with the others, and the addition of Blease, McKenzie (unsure of his contract status), Clisby and Tapscott imo.

    Does anyone know of Roos' discards, who have gone onto become something? Terlich is a maybe isn't he and Hall left and still had worth at the Dogs, but i was thinking it's the kiss of death to be tossed by Roos? Also of those Roos has traded away, were there any big stuff ups? I'm thinking that some of these names bandied about here might seriously want to pull their fingers out soon as it's a bad black mark to have against your name.

    Barry has just had his best couple of weeks - he won't go. Either will Blease but they should see if he's got any trade value. Think Tappy will be given more time too - coaches love hardness.

    Clark (Ret)

    Byrnes (Ret / not offered new contract)

    Nicho - disposal / decision making not at AFL standard - turning into list clogger. Clisby ahead of him now.

    McKenzie - trade / delist. I know he's a great soldier and clubman - but can't see him getting a game ahead of mitchie, kent, evans, toumpas, salem - disposal won't cut it.

    Strauss - make or break year - out of excuses.

    Frawley - if he decides to run.

    Don't think they would make anymore than 5 changes.

    Agree with most of these.

    My take:

    Tapscott- traded

    Nicho- Delisted

    Byrnes- either retired or delisted

    Strauss- delisted

    Blease- trade/delist

    Mckenzie- trade table

    maybe one or two young guys who will get the chop.

    Schneider and Dempster?

    Don't think we'll get anything for Tapscott.

    Anyway, back to the subject at hand...

    There seems to be general consensus that Clark (obviously), Byrnes and Nicholson will go the way of all good things.

    The latter two have 13 rounds to prove the doubters wrong, I guess?

    If Pedersen can do it, so too can they.

    If Byrnes gets another contract then we are a dumb club.

    haha, my thoughts also exactly.

    But they could go for pick 50 odd, which would be good.

    Strauss and Blease might garner some attention....

    I thought Straussy had something to offer, but Nev Jetta has almost shut that door on him...

    Never underestimate the stupidity of other clubs' recruitment teams. I mean, Richmond wanted Shaun Hampson for a second rounder.

    Pretty sure we can get some decent trades for Blease and Tappy rather just outright delist them.

    Basically any player who hasn't been selected to play a senior game by the end of the season unless they are a first year player should be delisted.

  • Quote

    He signed a three year deal. He's been cruelled by injury, but when he has had a run at it, he's not particularly impressive in any one area. There's a little bit of Bail in him, but he seems to be on the outer at the moment.

    Definitely a 2 year deal

    Schneider and Dempster?

    Mind you, I saw Schneider up close when he was with the International Rules team in Ireland, a year before he was traded to St Kilda. The rest of the team shunned him because he was an immature, obnoxious little pest.

    Talented he may have been, but his character was highly questionable.

    Schneider and Dempster?

    I think Roosy allowed them an out, to continue their careers. they were near the end at the Swans.

    I think Straussy is a rookie option, after all this time.

    I think Blease could get something around P45 ish, or maybe the P42 this year, or maybe the P50 ???

    I would love for tapscott to give us something to earn a rookie spot, I just can't see it happening

    These sorts of posts make me feel so old. I've seen this post 1000 times before. Different names but same content: every year some fresh faced poster wants to put the 38th-44th players on our list on the trade table.

    The other clubs do not want our garbage any more than we want theirs. Nobody is going to trade anything worthwhile for Tapscott or Blease. Unless they have a miraculous change of form, their AFL careers are drawing to a close.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
